Stay Grounded - Minimizing Hum and Buzz on a CBG Build
I just read a story online from a CBG builder experiencing oddball hum, buzz and other noises coming from an otherwise-completed build and causing much frustration. BEEN THERE, DONE THAT! I've lost count of how many times I've gotten to those last steps, ready to button-up the box and be done with a build, only to find some weird buzzing or a circuit that seems intermittent and glitchy. Always double-check those connections, and make sure things are solid AND in the right place. There are a couple of experimental builds I've finished that acted funny upon completion, and I'd go back in to find that for whatever reason (probably got a work call or was otherwise distracted) I'd used contemporary wiring when I meant to do "50's wiring", or a ground came loose, and at least a couple times having wired the hot and ground backwards on the output jack when I haven't been paying attention. One thing I've gotten into the habit of doing with all my sin...
